Summary

The bill defines a “tactical medical professional” – a physician or EMS worker assigned to a law‑enforcement tactical team – and requires them to complete a state‑approved handgun training course. Once certified, they may carry a concealed handgun while performing medical duties, are exempt from certain criminal penalties, and the government agency they work for is not liable for injuries caused by a lawful discharge. The measure aims to improve safety for officers and victims during high‑risk incidents.
